A Structure of Cloud Test System for Signal Test

Abstract

The Automatic Test System (ATS) is being increasingly used in the business and professional test. However, there are some potential problems emerged in the application of the distributed test. So we intend to solve the problems by adopting the idea of the Cloud Computing to solve the two challenges: improve the efficient use of the limited and heterogeneous hardware test resources and shorten the test cycle which is defined as the whole time of the test. The paper proposes several structures of the Cloud Test System (CTS): the overall structure, the software and hardware architecture. Theoretically,the study overcomes the challenges of the existing test system, then the foundation of the further study is laid.
